Ambitious Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 12 minutes ago, Raich Carter said: Agreed. Not much pace there but there's many decent sides out there with 2/3 slow centre halves - just need to have a system that allows for it. Stimac was glacial if we remember (yes, I know he's god, etc but he was very slow) and the way L1 is, it's mostly in the air stuff in the box so having two monsters at the back is no bad thing as far as I'm concerned. The quick strikers at this level, especially the ones who know how to utilise their speed, tend to finish like pissed up toddlers. If they didn’t then they wouldn’t be at this level in all honesty.

i-Ram Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I suspect both Flint and Bradley are waiting at least till the end of this week to avoid Warne’s lung busting first week back fitness routine. It is no coincidence that Mendez-Laing is playing for Guatemala at the moment. Never interested him before, but when the alternative is coughing his guts up, and blowing out of his arse, whilst running 20 miles a day, I suspect old Nate would have been just as happy to have made his international debut for North Korea.

It’s a simple matter of getting his type before anyone has heard about him . No reason why DCFC could not attract similar.

True, Derby should have a fairly extensive scouting portfolio of pretty much every significant player in the Premier League academies since they’ve played there for a long time now. It makes me wonder, and worried, why we ended up with Tony Springett when the likes of Chem Campbell at Wolves moved in the same window. We could be lazy and see if we couldn’t get Kaide Gordon and Liam Delap on loan next season - unlikely on both accounts but it would be nice to at least sample them properly in a Derby shirt.

Well last season the restrictions hindered us in the loan market in particular imo, we could only get loans without any fees involved which would really reduce the quality pool of players we could pick from. angieram, FlyBritishMidland, Eoghan1884 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only must it have affected the quality, it also must have had an impact on choice. We arguably needed a forward, a right winger, a right back and a central defender. We ended up with a midfielder, a goalie and a left wing back. FlyBritishMidland and David Graham Brown 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I don’t imagine other League One sides spend too much on loan fees - especially the likes of Shrewsbury. Clubs are generally reluctant to throw cash into a black hole at this level where they’re trying to be sustainable - loans are an example of that. Us allowing us to spend fees will allow us to be competitive against championship sides more so than League One clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
